O got this from a Women's Studies listserv. I'm not sure how user  
friendly this will be for our adult learners -- but probably worth  
looking at -- perhaps teachers can distill information for history,

> The International Museum of Women has just launched a multimedia  

> online exhibition called Economica: Women and the Global Economy.   

> You can view it at: economica.imow.org.  The core of the exhibition  

> consists of three parts:

>

> 1. a series of 5-min photo slideshows showing how women are coping  

> with and resisting the impacts of globalization and the economic  

> crisis in different parts of the world

>

> 2. companion essays that unpack some of the concepts shown in the  

> photo slideshows and discuss policy implications and alternatives

>

> 3. a series of podcasts and text interviews with feminist economists  

> and feminist policymakers critiquing current paradigms and offering  

> alternatives

>

> There is also an overarching essay aka curator's statement that  

> outlines the approach and includes a critique of the "investment- 

> only" model that has gained visibility through Kristof and WuDunn's  

> latest book as well as The Girl Effect video and other sources.    

> You can read this at: http://www.imow.org/economica/stories/viewStory?storyid=3628

> and it will soon be available in Spanish, too.

>

> The exhibition is designed for a non-expert audience, using engaging  

> multimedia formats, and thus might be very compelling to students as  

> a way to "bring to life" theory, numbers, statistics, graphs, etc.

>

> I am the curator of the exhibition and would be happy to answer  

> questions and/or brainstorm about ways to use it in the classroom.
